I freeze bananas when they're going black but I'm not ready to make anything with them.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Well, it may not be much help in your situation, but she would go for some alone time in her rocking chair on the porch, looking over her garden, and that usually led to a short nap.
On the other hand, when my grandfather felt that way he would go out for a drive -- around town, or out in the country, wherever whim and random chance took him.

I'm pretty pleased about Biden (my text came at 2:47, FTR). I do think he shores up Obama on not just foreign pol but with the "white working class" voter that Clinton claimed.
Plus, he's been in Congress for as long as I've been alive, so that takes care of the "Obama doesn't have enough experience" issue. And, in fact, it also creeps into the Old White Guy demographic.

Ditto. When I get enough (and some motivation) I make banana bread. Also, I really don't like mushy bananas (make me start gagging.) I like 'em when they are just shy of green, so if I don't manage to eat my 5 bananas/week, they quickly end up frozen.

DH and I were joking that McCain would have to find a young black Republican for his VP to even things out.

Swouncing
Turning my home computer on for the first time in forever (and in general, just logging in for the first time in almost a week of you-must-finish-grading-before-you-get-to-play), because according to Kat "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Aug 24, 2003 3:58:47 pm PDT today is Frances's birthday.
Happy birthday, Franny! With lots of wishes for Burrell and the rest of the family as well, of course.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Nilly! You survived!!
JC Watts? Or are there two young black republicans?
Heh.

I'm shoving some of the banana bread I'm making through the internet to you, Nilly. Can't you smell it?
Seriously, the apartment smells divine.
